Directions
Cut off the coarse outer leaves from the white cabbage.
Remove the core and finely shred the cabbage into a bowl.
Mix the shredded white cabbage with the salt and pepper. "Knead" the cabbage with clean hands to mix well.
Fry the bacon in a non-skillet pan until crisp.
Add the bacon and bacon drippings to the cabbage.
Put the spicy mustard and the caraway seeds into a bowl and add vinegar and sugar.
Stir in safflower oil.
Pour the marinade over the cabbage.
Mix thoroughly, cover and keep refrigerated for 2 or 3 hours.
Ready to serve, press a ladle on top of cabbage and carefully drain off excess marinade.
Sprinkle with chives.
Serve.
